Good and Bad Conductors of electricity
- Good Conductors are materials that allow an electric current to pass through them.
- Examples: Metals like copper, silver, etc are good conductors. Graphite is also a good conductor.
- They are used for making conducting wires.
- Poor conductors are materials that do not allow an electric current to pass through them.
- Examples: wood, diamond, plastic, pure water, etc.
- They are used to make switches, insulating covers, etc.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. But when impurities are present in it, it may conduct electricity.
Explanation:
- Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity.
- Distilled water is pure water and hence poor conductor of electricity.
- Tap water is not pure. It contains several other types of minerals and ions which conduct electricity. So, tap water is a good conductor of electricity.
- The salt solution contains ions that conduct electricity, so the saltwater is a good conductor of electricity.
Therefore the correct option is Both tap and seawater.
